The Biden administration yesterday unveiled a proposed change in the asylum process that could allow immigration officials to deport some migrants within days. Under the policy, key eligibility determinations would shift from the interview stage, which currently can take years, to the initial screening stage.
Currently, a judge can reject someone’s asylum claim if they pose a public safety or national security threat. This proposal would expedite the process by allowing immigration officers to reject claimants during their initial screening if they have a criminal background. The initiative will not go into effect immediately, as it will need to go through a public comment period and review before being implemented and does not include broader reforms to migration policy sought by the administration and many Republican lawmakers.
Border crossings surged to a monthly record in December before subsiding. More than 8 million migrants awaiting asylum are projected to be living in the US by the end of September, up roughly 167% since 2019.

Suspected of being an illegal immigrant? That could include almost anyone who has a non-US accent. Too broad.
Rural Red: perhaps study something about law before asking about judicial discretion
How about if you entered the US illegally, you are automatically Deported?
Common sense question here.
Why has an immigration judge not always had to power to immediately reject or deport or detain any persons caught attempting to cross the border without going through proper immigration stations?
Common sense solution to illegal immigration here.
Any person caught by ANY law enforcement officer and suspected of being an illegal immigrant be held until proven to be a citizen or legally within the US border. Thus making it too personally costly to illegally enter the US!
The flood of illegals is Biden’s plan to make elections irrelevant. Regardless of what he says, Biden is flooding Florida and Texas with illegals he has FLOWN into the Country.
